Clean Air & Energy: Air Pollution: In Depth: Report Breath-taking Premature Mortality Due to Particulate Air Pollution in 239 American Cities This material is from the May 1996 report from the Natural Resources Defense Council, by Deborah Sheiman Shprentz. For an online summary of the report see Danger In The Air. Guide to Mortality and Pollution Tables The Breath-taking report estimates that approximately 64,000 premature deaths from cardiopulmonary causes may be attributable to particulate air pollution each year. The tables listed below detail those findings. Top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas These tables consider MSA's ranked by average annual mean PM-10 concentration, by number of premature deaths attributable to particulate air pollution, and by number of premature deaths per 100,000 population attributable to particulate air pollution. Each table identifies the top 50 MSA's of the 239 MSA's for which we have data. ● Ranked by PM-10 Concentration ● Ranked by Attributable Mortality ● Ranked by Attributable Mortality Rate Top 50 Hot Spots in Metropolitan Statistical Areas These tables consider individual monitoring stations within MSA's ranked by annual average and 24-hour PM-10 concentration. Each table identifies the top 50 monitoring stations of the 943 stations for which data were available. ● Annual Average PM-10 Concentrations ● 24-Hour PM-10 Concentrations Particulate Air Pollution Attributable Mortality These tables show PM-10 concentration and NRDC's estimate of air pollution attributable deaths within Metropolitan Statistical Areas in each state. http://www.nrdc.org/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/joinGive/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/about/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/action/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/search/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/pollution/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/pollution/brief.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/pollution/depth.asp http://www.nrdc.org/reference/topics/air.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/energy/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/transportation/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/air/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/water/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/wildlife/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/land/default.asp http://www.nrdc.org/health/default.asp…
